Check Existing Issues

  • I have searched for any existing and/or related issues.
  • I have searched for any existing and/or related discussions.
  • I have also searched in the CLOSED issues AND CLOSED discussions and found no related items (your issue might already be addressed on the development branch!).
  • I am using the latest version of Open WebUI.

Installation Method

Docker

Open WebUI Version

v0.6.43

Ollama Version (if applicable)

No response

Operating System

Ubuntu 22.04

Browser (if applicable)

No response

Confirmation

  • I have read and followed all instructions in README.md.
  • I am using the latest version of both Open WebUI and Ollama.
  • I have included the browser console logs.
  • I have included the Docker container logs.
  • I have provided every relevant configuration, setting, and environment variable used in my setup.
  • I have clearly listed every relevant configuration, custom setting, environment variable, and command-line option that influences my setup (such as Docker Compose overrides, .env values, browser settings, authentication configurations, etc).
  • I have documented step-by-step reproduction instructions that are precise, sequential, and leave nothing to interpretation. My steps:
  • Start with the initial platform/version/OS and dependencies used,
  • Specify exact install/launch/configure commands,
  • List URLs visited, user input (incl. example values/emails/passwords if needed),
  • Describe all options and toggles enabled or changed,
  • Include any files or environmental changes,
  • Identify the expected and actual result at each stage,
  • Ensure any reasonably skilled user can follow and hit the same issue.

Expected Behavior

When creating or editing a folder and clicking Select Knowledge, the knowledge dropdown menu should render in front of the modal and remain fully selectable/clickable, allowing knowledge bases/files to be attached to the folder.

Actual Behavior

The Select Knowledge dropdown is rendered behind the “Edit Folder” floating modal (likely z-index / stacking context regression). The dropdown is visible only partially (or not at all depending on viewport) and is not clickable, blocking knowledge attachment to folders.

Steps to Reproduce

Start Open WebUI v0.6.43 using Docker Compose (no custom UI modifications).

Log in as any user with permissions to manage folders/assistants.

Navigate to the area where folders are managed (e.g., Assistants → Collections/Folders).

Create a folder or open an existing one and click Edit Folder.

In the modal, locate Knowledge and click Select Knowledge.

Observe that the dropdown opens behind the modal, making selection impossible.
